<p>Ive refused some loads in my time on the road. Generally they always had the option of firing me and putting someone else in the truck. Sometimes they exercised that option. But I aint the one shafted with that load. Then again there were some memorable loads I should have refused. Equiptment was not an option unless ye were out of fuel, suffering computer problems (Hell, way back when there were NOT any electronics other than the CB radio.) etc. That is all Im going to say about this, dont want to derail this wonderful thread.</p><p> I do watch the trains that I have to wait at the crossing. Some of those are usually under tension coming off the slight grade in my area but the southbound ones worry me when there are empty flats or other items with alot of weight behind them because there are two potential signals downgrade and they jump or shiver a little when braking is put on.</p>
